Living in a family where everything and everyone has to be perfect can be exhausting. Poor Quin Henley, she dreams of pursuing her music career but her parents keep pushing her down. 

"For me, being successful in life is doing what you love most. Success is having fun at what you are doing. Isn’t that what we all look for in life? To work in some place where you don’t count the hours and minutes to leave? Yes, you do want the best for your children but the successful part in that scenario is having your children with health, with morals, and a goal to achieve. That should be the only thing that our parents should worry of. That we achieve our goals. 

In my case, my parents wish upon a star that I would come out the same way as my siblings and stop with my ridiculous idea of a career. "
